President Atherton 11l
For the last week or so Dr. Ath
erton has been confined to his bed
with serious illness. Soon after his
return home he visited the Governor
at Harrisburg to confer with him re
garding the Adam's Bill, recently
passed in Congress. This trip was
probably a bad thing for his weax
state, for a few days after his return
he took to his bed. At the present
writing he is much better, and the
doctors feel considerably relieved.

last Monday evening the following

Senior year : Pres., Wm. Wray ;

STATE COLLEGE, PA., MAY 24, 1906
Base Ball
The recent Eastern baseball trip
Proved remarkable successful.
Four difficult games were played in
as many days, and decisive victories
gained over West Point. Fordham,
and Dickinson, while with a good
umpire and a trifle less hard luck,
the 3 to 2 game taken by Yale would
also have gone to "the weate,s of
the White and Blue." Not once
during the present season have
State's men complained about "a
bum umpire," but Mr. Beecher,
who handled the indicator in the
recent Yale game. was so palpably
incompetent, that his decisions
spoiled that otherwise good game.
A week pi evious to the State game
this same official umpired the Yale—
Holy Cross game, which almost
ended in a riot, because of his raw
decisions, so that the Yale manager
should have certainly looked after a
new man for the State contest. It
will be remembered that last fall in
football all the Eastein papers were
strong in their denunciation of the
poor work of the referee in the
State—Yale game. It appears that
"Old Eli" should "wake-up," and
get competent, impartial officials ap
pointed to take charge of her home
games, as is the practice at Pfince
ton, Cornell etc.
However, as legal ds this game,
State's player cannot blame
their defeat entirely upon the poor
umpiring, since slow fielding was the
main factor in Yale's victor y. Dur
ing preliminary practice, short stop
Cree sprained his arm, and could
scarcely throw across the diamond.
This mishap resulted in several of
State's errors, which, coupled with
some ragged slow fielding, allowed
